Hello friends!
I have a brand new project to share with you today and I'm excited to unbox the materials with you, as well as share about all the details! For awhile, I've been really interested in the concept of a "SAL" (Stitch-A-Long), especially ones that have a mystery component. While I'm not a stitcher, I thought it would be so neat to try doing a SAL... but as a diamond painting!
This particular chart and artist jumped out at me immediately - the style, themes, and characters are SO me. The artist is "Flossy Fox Shop (Andrea)" and the name of this mystery SAL is "Night of the Frost Dragon." I did contact Flossy Fox Shop ahead of time to inquire if there would be any backstitching or specialty stitches (since those wouldn't really translate to diamond painting form) and they kindly responded that this chart wouldn't feature either. I highly recommend that if you're looking at trying out a mystery SAL as a diamond painting, contact the artist/shop owner first to check on this so you aren't disappointed after you've already started your project.
I purchased my canvas and drills from Jaded Gem Shop, and was able to just send over the size and color list for the shop to do all the calculations and work to make sure I had the right canvas size and drills.
This SAL runs through April 2025, but I believe you can jump in at any time. I'll be sharing updates and learnings as we go along, and I can't wait to get started when the first drop happens on Sept. 10th!

As a seasoned cross stitcher, it was really cute to listen to you explain SAL's to non stitchers. :]
From my experience in other SAL's, once the designer has shared the released portion of the pattern upon the release, you're good to show it. The mystery gets revealed over time, and the designers usually share what those are on their social medias on the release days. If that makes sense. :]
What a COOL concept!!! I can’t wait to see the progression of this project.
Can’t wait to follow and watch this. Sounds very interesting. Thanks for sharing and showing us.
Katie! I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for bringing us new things in the diamond painting universe!!
Can't wait to try one of these!
This would be a great idea for you to do with your subscribers. To get with Jade and create an image and kits that we could all work on with you.
Oh, this looks so fun! I may have to try it.
I’m really looking forward to watching or hearing how you transform this. It’s a cool idea. As always , thanks for sharing these fun moments. 🪡💎
I am looking forward to following this project! Thank you for sharing. I would be interested in how much the materials from JGS cost so that I can consider getting one, that is if you feel comfortable sharing!
Yes please.
I can't wait to see the results of this project. I commend you. ❤❤😂
So cool!!😁
This looks like so much fun! I will definitely watch and maybe participate next time. I have too much on my plate right now.
I am so excited to watch this unfold! Your happy is so contagious!!!!❤❤❤
This is a great idea, and seems quite manageable for those toying with the idea of getting into cross-stitch conversions. I'm not sure I'm brave enough yet, though 🤭
Katie ❤that again an awesome idea and the artwork from this artist is looking so cute and all my vibe. 🤔Think about joining you 😅
This is super cute and I am excited to watch you as you progress through this project.
SALs are really fun, I' sure, you will enjoy it
Omg thank you for introducing me to this shop!!! Absolutely love everything they have on there!!
I've recently transitioned to cross stitch after being a diamond painter for many years and I love doing stich-alongs. My only concern is the background color. Since this stitch-along isn't a full coverage piece, you may need to leave some blank squares untouched at the end of part 1, 2 3 etc. Otherwise you'll end up unpicking background drills and replacing them with coloured drills later. To ensure that the canvas remains sticky, it may be worthwhile looking at options for covering up these blank squares throughout the project. E.g. Washi tape, release paper. I hope that makes sense.
Wow! This is a great idea! I am excited to see how it all comes together! Thank you for sharing this new idea with us! ♥
This looks like it is going to be a really cool project. Looking forward to watching the process.
Crazy, I literally just got into cross-stitch last week and one of the 2 patterns I bought was from Flossy Fox Shop! I was thinking about joining the SAL too
I absolutely love this and really enjoy cross stitch conversion to a diamond painting. Now, I’m going to have to check it out!
Ohh soooo tempted! Feel I need the time for it to enjoy it though…. Not so sure about that… 😀
As a cross stitcher, love doing stitch alongs. I love the grid. That’s how “we” work it. I think you’ll be fine. You are right, no pattern but anything public is fine. To fun for a DP
OMG love it and now I need to do this. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you I went and bought it and this will be my first one doing a conversion to diamond painting.
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out! I don’t think I’m ready for this kind of project yet but maybe in the future!!
😍😍😍
This sounds like a really fun project! I will be following along!
Ohhhhhh! I really want to keep up with your journey on this! 😃
This sounds like it’s gonna be so cute! I was all in thinking how fun would this be, then thought no way bc this sounds pretty confusing in my brain lol. I’m gonna live vicariously thru you and will just enjoy seeing you work on it!
I’ve done a SAL and it was really a lot of fun! It was Christmas themed but not a mystery. This is a great idea!
This is a great idea. I also cross-stitch and would love to work on this, especially because its is cross stitch. you mentioned Pattern Keeper on your Fire tablet, I thought it was only available only on a Samsung tablet, but glad that it is available on the fire tablet. Looking at the etsy shop now. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a new diamond painter but I love this concept. Would you recommend this for a beginner. It may be a little too adventurous. I have been a cross stitcher years ago
This looks awesome. I love crochet a longs so this should be amazing.
So..... If I see a cross stitch on HAED, can jade convert that to a diamond painting? There is a Dona gelsinger image of the little drummer boy, but I don't know how to go about getting or making it a dp. 🧐🤔🥴
Good luck with this endeavor
Hi Katie, this sounds fun. But, I was never able to figure out cross-stitch. Right now my Dictator Personal assistant says anything I purchase will go to the Goodwill.
Enjoy the adventure.
Katie, I have a xstitch pattern I want to covert to a diamond painting. It is a partial, so I am trying to figure out how to center it on the canvas. I work from the upper right corner across and down, so there will be quite a bit of background to fill in before I get to the image. Any tips on how to figure out how center the image on the canvas?
I want to do this so bad. I messaged jada but havent heard back
Where can I find the art bundle???
I was wondering the same thing
So the pattern is a partial?
